dewaldsss Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Hi fellow hubbers I'm in the process of doing some upgrades from my Deore XT m8000 to XTR m9000.I already have rear derailleur, shifter and brake set.Now the crank....Do I fit a XTR crank to match or do I go for a Sram XX Eagle crank(because light weight and CARBON!).My worries is the chainring, will the Shimano 11 speed chain work on this setup?I see on some forums they claim the 11spd sram will work perfectly, but not sure if the shimano would....My frame is BB92 so the rotor rex1.1 crank I wanted to fit is a no go Would like to hear your thoughts on this....
nox1111 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Vol XTR is wenner imo.Die XX Crankset is mooier, maar ek hou van goed wat bymekaar pas...
the nerd Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I would go with the sram crank for the following reason: With Sram direct mount rings you can get away with different offsets and often sizes that are not available for other bolt patterns. The options are greater with DM chain rings!
BaGearA Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Sram because you have a much wider range to pay with than the Xtr, this will improve in the coming months but for now i'd go with the sram. I'd probably still go with sram next year , pity about the Rotor crank those are killer Maybe look at raceface aswell
madbradd Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Raceface Next? Can you not use the Rotor PF4130 BB for the Rex? It allows a 30mm spindle in a standard pressfit shell. Never done it, but that's my understanding. http://reviews.mtbr.com/first-look-rotor-rex-1-1-crank-and-1x-chainring. https://www.evobikes.co.za/rotor-pf4130-bottom-bracket-for-bb86-and-bb92.html If that doesn't work, the mtbr link suggests you can get a 24mm Rex?
TomR Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I am big fan of the XTR. I run the M9000 on two of my mountain bikes. Having said that though, you have more options with the Sram crankset with regards to different chainrings, and the direct mount looks great. I run my old XX1 crankset on a project bike with a Race Face direct mount chainring. Looks great, and chainrings are easily accessible and less expensive than the XTR chainrings. Last thought... If you are going full XTR, a Sram crankset will look out of place. Both Sram and Shimano 11speed chains are compatible.
PregoRoll Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 The RaceFace Next SL is a beast of a Crankset. Otherwise the XTR will finish the groupset off nicely
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Race Face Next SL? raceface-next-32t-single-175mm-arms.jpg^^THIS... DROOOOOOL
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 The RaceFace Next SL is a beast of a Crankset. Otherwise the XTR will finish the groupset off nicely and more than likely lighter than the XX1. I know previous iterations of the carbon SRAM cranks weren't that light.

Thermophage Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 ^^THIS... DROOOOOOLThe Next SL G4 you mean...I got a quite not toooo long ago...around R8500

Rotor makes a BB4130 Pressfit Bottom Bracket for BB92 frames... The are R595 each.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 The Next SL G4 you mean...I got a quite not toooo long ago...around R8500 ah yea, sorry. Still. Would rather get a SAINT crankset. Stronger. just a little bit heavier. 1/3rd the price.
